Summary
This pilot study tested a text-based resource platform that sends diabetes educational materials to patients in the emergency department. The goal was to see if it improves diabetes knowledge, reduces distress, and supports self-care. Fifty adults with poorly controlled or new-onset diabetes participated. The study measured how acceptable and feasible the intervention was, and whether it helped patients attend follow-up doctor visits.
